Beijing,
the capital of the People’s Republic of China, is the political and cultural
centre of the country. The former imperial city is looking back on a 3000
year old history and houses a worldwide unique cultural heritage. Most
famous sights are probably the Forbidden City with the imperial palace,
the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace (UNESCO world heritage sites)
as well as Tiananmen Square.
Despite the modern age, the Chinese preserve and cultivate their ancient traditions and customs, as can be seen for example in colourful festivals with marvellous processions, where old legends and myths become vivid again.. |
